Mindset Coaching for Business Owners
This is fact….we only will get the business and life we want if you swallow these pills, stop feeling the ‘world owes us’, get on board and take action:
Taking responsibility
Owning your own actions is the only way you can move forward and ensure the actions you take are taking you towards your goals. We all have a choice to change and to learn from our wins and our losses…what an awesome opportunity that is!
So many times I hear people say ‘it’s not fair’ or ‘if only’, and this is a classic example of blaming someone else and not taking responsibility. If you hear yourself say ‘I should have’, this is another flag that means you think you are entitled to it and it’s not fair that you haven’t.
Consistency
Turning up and doing the work, the posts, the networking consistently is what will bring the rewards. It can be manageable. Remember that what you commit to needs to reflect you and your business, but consistency and backing yourself are key.
We can retrain our brain by teaching it to back itself – this is a technique I share in my coaching sessions because all too often our subconscious will know that we don’t ever do what we say we are going to do, so it frankly doesn’t bother even trying!
Truth
Stop telling yourself lies in your head or letting yourself off doing things you don’t want to ‘because you deserve not to. Radical truth is where transformation happens. Lie to yourself and you will lose out.
That’s why I always try to be brutally honest with myself – if I lie to myself, I am only fooling one person. Me.
It is also amazing how our subconscious will try to keep us safe from harm or hard work and make excuses why it’s ok not to do what we wanted to do. Listen to the voice in your head and take action against it.
Time
Growth takes time. There is NO magic pill….. Accept it and put in the work. I don’t think we can assume that we can work 3 days a week, never put in hard graft and get a £100K business….it’s about balance for sure, but hard work is needed sometimes to get the benefits. You will have to walk through sludge to get to the results you want, and it will feel hard at times, but you can do hard things.
Planning
Plan for success. Plan each day – what tasks you’re doing. Plan your networking – how are you going to get the ROI on it? Plan to develop your tools and plan to relax. Prioritise the jobs that turn the needle first.
Mindset
Successful businesses need their owners to work on themselves to grow. They don’t just need new processes or technology. They need the founders to evolve, grow and flex in how they think. They need wider perspectives and broader stretch.
